Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed July 17, 2012.〕 ''New Jersey Monthly'' magazine ranked Spring Lake as the 240th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2010 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.〔Staff.

Accessed July 14, 2011.〕 ==History== Spring Lake was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 14, 1892, from portions of Wall Township, based on the results of a referendum held on March 8, 1892. On February 24, 1903, the borough of North Spring Lake was annexed to Spring Lake.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 186. Accessed July 17, 2012.〕〔Honeyman, Abraham Van Doren. (''Index-analysis of the Statutes of New Jersey, 1896-1909: Together with References to All Acts, and Parts of Acts, in the 'General Statutes' and Pamphlet Laws Expressly Repealed: and the Statutory Crimes of New Jersey During the Same Period'' ), p. 263. New Jersey Law Journal Publishing Company, 1910. Accessed October 8, 2015.〕 The borough was named for a clear spring-fed lake.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed October 7, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 288. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed October 7, 2015.〕〔(Brief History ), Borough of Spring Lake. Accessed October 8, 2015. "In the early 1900's, the town boasted fine hotels, lavish estates, and pretentious private homes (known as "cottages"),surrounded by the beautiful clear pond renamed 'Spring Lake.'"〕 During the "Gilded Age" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Spring Lake developed into a coastal resort for members of New York City and Philadelphia high society, in similar fashion to the settlements of Newport, Rhode Island and Bar Harbor, Maine.〔Corcoran, David. ("All That Glitters" ), ''The New York Times'', July 24, 2005. Accessed July 14, 2011. "Spring Lake... The town was founded in the Gilded Age and in certain ways has never left it."〕 A surviving example of architecture constructed during this era is the Martin Maloney Cottage on Morris Avenue next to the tycoon's former and no longer existent Ballingarry Estate.〔Seebohn, Caroline; and Cook, Peter C. (''Cottages and mansions of the Jersey shore'' ), p. 99. Rutgers University Press, 2007. ISBN 0-8135-4016-X. Accessed July 14, 2011. "One of the most spectacular examples of Spring Lake architecture is the so-called Maloney Cottage, at 101 Morris Avenue. Its wedding-cake opulence, fantastical porches and verandahs up steep flights of stairs, elaborate carpentry, curved balustrades, and dizzying rooflines cause people today to stop and stare. Brilliantly white, intricately decorated, the house represents the Gilded Age of Spring Lake at its most glamorous."〕 Another fine example of period architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the Audenried Cottage on Tuttle Avenue.〔(NEW JERSEY - Monmouth County ), National Register of Historic Places. Accessed July 14, 2011.〕 The second of the five victims of the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, Charles Bruder, 27, a Swiss bellhop for the Essex and Sussex Hotel, was killed on July 6, 1916, while swimming approximately from shore in Spring Lake.〔Staff. ("SHARK KILLS BATHER: Bites Off Both Legs Of Bellboy At Springlake, N. J.--Second Case In Week" ), ''The Baltimore Sun'', July 7, 1916. Accessed July 14, 2011. "While hundreds of summer visitors on the beach and in the south end pavilion looked on helpless, Charles Bruder, a bellboy in one of the largest beach-front hotels, was attacked by a shark this afternoon and before help could arrive lost both his legs."〕 The wave of attacks took place between July 1 and July 12, 1916, along of Atlantic Ocean coastline and is often attributed as having inspired the novel ''Jaws'' by Peter Benchley and the corresponding film by Steven Spielberg,〔Staff. ("The Shark That Inspired 'Jaws'" ), ''The Early Show'', February 11, 2009. Accessed July 14, 2011. "Taking a dip in the ocean just hasn't been the same since the release of "Jaws" more than 25 years ago. But what many people don't know is that the film is based on a series of deadly shark attacks in the summer of 1916 along the New Jersey shoreline.... The second victim was a bellboy from Switzerland working at a hotel in Spring Lake. His name was Charles Bruder, and he was a very strong swimmer."〕 though Benchley has explicitly denied the claim.〔Broad, William J. ("Scientists Say Frenzy Over Shark Attacks Is Unwarranted" ), ''The New York Times'', September 5, 2001. Accessed October 15, 2015. "As proof, they note a series of fatal shark attacks that terrorized the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1916, events that inspired the movie ''Jaws.''... Correction: September 8, 2001, Saturday An article on Wednesday and one in the New Jersey section on Sunday about fears over sharks referred incorrectly to the inspiration for the 1974 novel ''Jaws.'' Its author, Peter Benchley, says the book was not inspired by attacks off New Jersey in 1916.〕 The borough and its environs are known as the "Irish Riviera" because of the large Irish-American population in the area, with Spring Lake having the highest percentage of any municipality in the United States.〔Warner, Susan. ("Painting By The Numbers: What And Where Is Home?" ), ''The New York Times'', July 14, 2002. Accessed August 30, 2013. "Spring Lake, New Jersey's so-called Irish Riviera, is indeed New Jersey's most Irish municipality. Just over half of Spring Lake's population, 50.7 percent, said it had roots in the auld sod."〕〔 Spring Lake is home to the Spring Lake 5 Mile Run, a race that was first run in 1977, circling the borough, beginning and ending at the beachfront.〔(History ), Spring Lake Five Mie Run. Accessed July 17, 2012. "At first glance it may seem odd that a small town on the Jersey Shore would be home to one of the largest and best running events in the nation. Since it was first held in 1977, the Spring Lake Five Mile Run has grown from a small local fun run into New Jersey’s largest road race and a nationally recognized event. "〕 The 1999 event drew 15,000 runners.〔Harris, Courtenay. ("15,000 expected for Spring Lake 5-Mile Run" ), ''Asbury Park Press'', May 29, 1999. Accessed July 17, 2012.〕 In 2015, the race was listed as one of the top 100 races in America by Runner's World Magazine 〔http://www.springlake5.org/?page_id=170〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spring Lake, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
